Hollywood interest in DSLRs has
skyrocketed over the last few years. Still cameras went from being
fairly useless in the actual shooting of movies to being regularly
used in action scenes. This new trend has caused one very big
cinematographer to team with Letus to create a line of products made
for the purpose of shooting films with DSLRs.

We've seen a few DSLR rigs and adapters
made to attach DSLR cameras to existing rigs, but the Master Cinema
Series was designed by Hurlbut to satisfy the needs of a pro
cinematographer.

"My team and I have shot 2 feature
films, 20 shorts and over 100 commercials on the DSLR platform, using
Red Rock, Zacuto and Cinevate rigs," writes Hurlbut on his
blog. "All of them performed well, but none of them seemed
to fit me, my soul and how I liked the rig to feel on my shoulder or
how it converted like film cameras."

The Master Cinema Series from Letus can
be configured as a shoulder cam, studio cam, man cam or action cam.
Components are available on their own, while the complete set will
run you $6,500 directly from Letus.
